"Li Chongxi, that old rascal, truly makes me uneasy."
Shi Jing frowned and said coldly, "Let this King kill him first!"
As one of the forces occupying Chang'an, Shi Jing was naturally aware of the existence of the tomb keeper Li Chongxi. They had never interacted, nor did they know each other.
Now that Li Chongxi intended to interfere, Shi Jing's killing intent had already been ignited.
However, Chu Wu said, "Li Chongxi cannot be killed."
"Why?" It was already a great show of tolerance from Shi Jing to ask Chu Wu for a reason.
"Li Chongxi is..." Chu Wu hesitated, unsure how to introduce Li Chongxi's identity.
In short, Li Chongxi could not be killed casually, otherwise Li Genmiao would not let him go.
Seeing Chu Wu's hesitant expression, Shi Jing grew impatient. He couldn't be bothered to listen to Chu Wu's nonsense and directly brandished his spear to attack Li Chongxi!
Seeing this, Chu Wu could only let Shi Jing have his way. After all, he himself needed to prepare the Myriad Ghosts Burial Array and couldn't leave at the moment.
"Li Chongxi, die!"
Shi Jing's killing intent was palpable as his long spear pointed directly at Li Chongxi's throat.
Li Chongxi faced the Ghost King's provocation without fear. With a soft hum, he raised his left hand and grasped the air as if to choke Shi Jing's throat.
Shi Jing didn't understand this move, but Yu Jinhong, standing behind him, turned pale and showed instinctive fear.
"Gou Di Yin Suo!"
Yu Jinhong screamed, "It's Gou Di Yin Suo!"
While others might not understand this move, he was all too familiar with it, for his own elder brother, Yu Jinbo, had died under Shen Shuzhen's Gou Di Yin Suo!
The scene of his elder brother being dragged into the eighteenth level of hell, even after so much time, was still vividly etched in Yu Jinhong's memory.
That scene was like a nightmare that haunted Yu Jinhong relentlessly. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would see Yu Jinbo's desperate face.
Now, seeing Gou Di Yin Suo again, Yu Jinhong was so terrified that he froze on the spot, afraid to move.
As Yu Jinhong uttered the name of the move, Li Chongxi no longer concealed his intentions.
He declared loudly, "Gou Di Yin Suo, Bi Luo Huang Quan!"
*Bang—*
A gust of strong wind emanated from beneath Li Chongxi's feet, and then several streams of light outlined a massive formation on the ground!
From within the formation, several chains suddenly shot out, like venomous snakes lurking in the grass, tightly entangling Shi Jing in the air!
Shi Jing's expression also changed, and he said angrily, "You are a tomb keeper, how can you use the techniques of a Lianrong Master?!"
Li Chongxi snorted coldly.
He knew more than just this one move!
At Li Chongxi's command, countless paper figures suddenly flew out from the surrounding tents, and those paper figures ferociously attacked Shi Jing!
Chu Wu was also greatly shocked. Did this Li Chongxi also know the art of paper figures?
Li Chongxi repeatedly defied everyone's expectations, constantly refreshing their understanding of him. Let alone Chu Wu and Shi Jing, even Wang Jiwan and others were dumbfounded.
"This, how many skills has this Senior Li secretly learned?" Weng Qianxiang exclaimed in disbelief.
Luo Ning reminded them, "Let's not stand around gawking. Let's take this opportunity to enter the imperial mausoleum!"
The crowd snapped back to reality and quickly retreated. They had been so stunned by Li Chongxi's two consecutive moves that they had forgotten themselves.
However, they had only taken a few steps before they realized that the Myriad Ghosts Burial Array had already taken shape!
Those paper figures held hands, forming a circle around everyone, emitting a strong aura of death, a restriction that would whip anyone who approached with the essence of death!
Long Feicheng, not believing it, swung his Caiwei Sword down. The result was that the sword was split open, his chest felt constricted, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it, you old scoundrel!"
Long Feicheng was furious. It was the first time he, the 'old scoundrel,' had been injured today, and it was by this damned formation.
As expected, only an old scoundrel could subdue an old scoundrel!
Everyone helped Long Feicheng up and looked back at Chu Wu. They saw that Chu Wu, without hesitation, had abandoned Shi Jing, who was entangled by Gou Di Yin Suo, and hurried into the imperial mausoleum with a few subordinates!
"They've gone in!" Everyone's faces darkened.
Shi Jing also saw this scene and felt a surge of anger.
In the Ghost Market, he had been toyed with by Yan Shouyi, losing both his wife and his soldiers.
Now, at the imperial mausoleum, he was being ruthlessly used by Chu Wu and the others, becoming their stepping stone.
How could this be tolerated?!
Shi Jing could not swallow this insult!
His face contorted with ferocity, he gathered all his strength into the long spear in his hand and hurled it fiercely at Li Chongxi!
Li Chongxi, in order to maintain Gou Di Yin Suo, had no time to dodge.
He gritted his teeth, determined to drag Shi Jing to hell even if it cost him his life!
"This is bad, Senior Li!"
The descendants of the folk sects of Chang'an saw this scene and their faces turned pale. They all exerted their utmost efforts to block this move for Li Chongxi.
The Corpse Herder ordered his zombies to block in front of Li Chongxi.
The Paper Folder sent his paper figures to intercept the long spear.
The Night Watchman himself stepped forward, meeting the long spear with his Zhanma Saber, and the bronze gong on his chest took the direct impact!
To them, Li Chongxi was an indispensable figure in Chang'an. Without him, Chang'an would surely lose its former peace.
Therefore, they were willing to risk their lives to save Li Chongxi!
The long spear was sharp and piercing, breaking through layers of defense. Li Chongxi was also distracted by his concern for the safety of the other folk sect descendants.
This gave Shi Jing an opportunity!
He saw that Gou Di Yin Suo had loosened slightly and took the chance to break free, transforming into a wisp of ghost energy and drilling into the imperial mausoleum closely behind Chu Wu!
Yu Jinhong saw this and followed suit without hesitation!
The other Ghost Kings, along with Chu Wu's remaining defeated soldiers and remnants, had also intended to follow into the imperial mausoleum, but Li Chongxi, having regained his composure, directly expanded the scope of Gou Di Yin Suo, firmly locking everyone down!
Only Chu Wu and his confidants, along with Ghost King Shi Jing and Yu Jinhong, slipped into the imperial mausoleum!
Unfortunately, Wang Jiwan and the others were a step too late. Now trapped by the Myriad Ghosts Burial Array, they were unable to enter the imperial mausoleum to intercept!
"All of you stay here!!!"
Li Chongxi roared furiously, his aged body erupting with immense power, actually suppressing everyone to the ground!
Even the three Ghost Kings were no exception!
They had been floating in the air, but now they were tightly bound by the chains, dragged down from the sky and pressed to the ground without dignity!
The furious Li Chongxi's methods were surprisingly formidable!
